HOW EFFECTIVE IS YOUR PROJECT MANAGEMENT PRACTICE? - How well does your project management practice work for your business? Does it accurately forecast and control project delivery or is it more or less reactionary? Worse yet, is it viewed primarily as a reporting function where real project status actually reflects a different direction?
An ALIPRO PM Heath Check evaluates the effectiveness of your project management practice and identifies critical performance factors that can negatively impact project outcome.
We start by baselining your current practice through observation of your project delivery routine and interviews with key members of your organization. We then evaluate the application and effectiveness of your practice in enabling the four (4) key attributes of successful project management environments as follows:
1. Project Teams: an inclusive delivery structure with cross-function representation, member roles and responsibilities, and use of project charters
2. Project Delivery Process: standardly recognized definition, development, and delivery stages, with phased deliverables, and formal project or gateway reviews
3. Project Tools: data collection, organization and analysis applications used for planning, resourcing, forecasting, and communicating project
management and reporting needs
4. Project Management Discipline: an accepted methodology that ensures project teams apply practice standards within a regular cycle, routinely review progress and enlist the business management team in resolving delivery issues beyond their control
Our PM Health Check results are documented and presented back to your organization in a forum of your choice. We identify improvement targets and recommend actions proven to bring about both short and long term practice gains to accomplish your vision for obtaining the best value from your project management practice.
